Tools

CNCF to Host NATS: I really like NATS; it’s one of the first Go projects I tinkered with. “NATS is a messaging technology that implements the publish/subscribe, request/reply and distributed queue patterns to help create a performant and secure method of InterProcess Communication (IPC).”

Service Fabric is going open source: Microsoft Azure Service Fabric is going open source under the MIT license and over the coming months we will be transitioning to a completely open development process on GitHub.

Jenkins X provides CI/CD for Kubernetes: Not sure what Cloudbees is trying to do here. I tried to get this working on minikube on Wednesday and couldn’t. But, at least they realize Kubernetes is a thing they should address.
